Did you know that one-quarter of all North American fish species are native to the Mississippi? Or that it shelters 300 species of birds during seasonal migrations? The Mississippi River runs through the heart of the nation, shaping its history and identity. But few of us understand its essence. It’s a life-giving force that sustains thriving ecosystems across wetlands, prairies, and bluffs. He has driven virtually all the Great River Road, hiked, and canoed the river on multi-day expeditions, and cruised on the American Queen steamboat as a guest lecturer. In The Wild Mississippi, Dean not only shares the wonders of the river, but he also shows you where to experience them firsthand. Pick up this must-read guide and get ready to experience the river wild!
